Abstract

Thirteen previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, as well as nine known lanostane triterpenoids, were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Fomitopsis pinicola (Sw.) P. Karst. Their structures and absolute configurations were characterized by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Nor-pinicolic acids A-F possess unusual C-25-C-27 nor-lanostane skeletons, which were first reported from F. pinicola. Anti-inflammatory assays indicated that pinicopsic acid F and 16α-hydroxy-3-oxolanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic acid showed moderate inhibitory activities against LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells, with IC50 values of 24.5 and 25.7 μM, respectively.
